[ laughter ] >> thank you. a husband and wife are in hot water accused one of the biggest used car scams in california history. christin ayers reports they were caught after on undercover operation in antioch. reporter: leisha thought she was getting a car with 128,000 miles on it when she bought this used ford from her landlord's auto dealership. it wasn't until she had handed over the money, $3,200, that she realized she had been duped.

>> he had rolled back the odometer. >> reporter: a vehicle history report showed the car had nearly 100,000 more miles on it than the odometer showed. >> i was livid. i was livid. i trusted him. >> reporter: authorities say over the years the owners of jorge's california car sales, george and his wife danielle, had switched the odometers of up to 100 cars with lower mileage cars from junkyards. they are now facing 80 counts. workers at the dealership closed up shop when we knocked and even called police on us. a customer considering buying a car here changed her mind. >> turn the odometers back? i don't think i want to buy one here. >> reporter: leisha is cooperating with the d.a.'s office but says it is costing her. she claims the guevaras are now evicting her from the apartment she lives in on their lot. she is hoping justice is served. >> i'd like to see him go to jail. it's wrong to do that. >> reporter: christin ayers, kpix 5. >> george guevara is being held on a million dollars bail.

his wife danielle has been released. a patient in isolation at sacramento hospital does not have ebola. the patient had ebola-like symptoms and had just visited west africa so that raised some alarms. >> we are happy to report that we heard from the centers for disease control that the test result is negative. i want to emphasize that there are still no confirmed ebola cases in california. >> two americans who contracted ebola in africa are out of the hospital. dr. kent brantly was once near death but he high fived the medical staff that saved him as he walked out of the atlanta hospital fully recovered. >> today is a miraculous day. i'm thrilled to be alive, to be well, and to be reunited with my family. >> dr. brantly contracted ebola while helping patients in liberia. he and american aid worker nancy writebol are two of the

few people who have recovered. they were given an experimental serum. writebol was released earlier this week. 4:33. lawrence's turn to chime in on a great weekend. >> very nice weather around the bay area. hasn't been a bad week but we won't have drizzle. outside right now low clouds and fog moving in along the coastline. most of the valleys some of the bays actually clear right now so we are going to see a very nice day ahead although the temperatures may cool slightly. there's a weak area of low pressure that's moving north and that may be enough to cool down the temperatures by a few degrees. that's about it. otherwise, we have some 80s expected for the valleys again a lot of 70s and low 80s inside the bay and patchy fog out toward the coastline and the sea breeze. out the door we have some clouds over san francisco temperatures in the 50s and the 60s now. but by the afternoon, 84 degrees in livermore. about 80 in san jose. and 68 degrees becoming mostly sunny in san francisco. all right. let's check the roads with elizabeth. out to the richmond/san rafael bridge, if you are heading westbound right now to

the richmond/san rafael bridge toll plaza, just a few cars right now coming into marin county. the issue is actually in the eastbound direction. so we have some overnight roadwork in this area as well but there is a crash now eastbound 580 approaching canal boulevard. and we are seeing some slowdowns on our sensors heading into the east bay. if you are heading to the bay bridge toll plaza, this is what it looks like now over from the east bay into san francisco. it looks clear, no delay at all on other sensors and we're not seeing much overnight roadwork to slow you down. different story in oakland. southbound 880 jackson to embarcadero three right lanes closed until 5:00, also the northbound direction of 880 from 16th to broadway three right lanes closed on that side of the road until 5:00. they should wrap up shortly. but you may hit a little delay near downtown oakland. bart great option, everything is on time. that is your latest "kcbs

traffic." here's some video now, dashcam video from a cab showing a person of interest in the beating death of a san francisco man. the short video clip shows a man in a hoodie near duboce park where bryan higgins was attacked august 10. if you recognize this man in the hoodie, police want to hear from you. higgins was taken off life support and died three days after the beating. vandals have hit three stores in recent days in san jose's willow glen district. surveillance video from inside the baskin-robbins on willow street captured shots fired into a window early wednesday. when the owner arrived to open, he found steel balls inside the ice cream parlor there. he believes the vandals may have been used a high-powered paint gun or maybe a bb gun. >> they didn't come in, thankfully, but yeah, because the alarm didn't go off, but anyway, they just took the windows out and then a day or two before they hit another couple of spots on lincoln avenue. so -- >> workers at starbucks on

lincoln avenue say someone threw one of its outdoor tables through a window there and a bevmo! store down the block windows were smashed last week. so far there are no suspects. missouri governor jay nixon has ordered the national guard to leave the city of ferguson. the move comes after two weeks of protests over the fatal shooting of michael brown by a police officer. 7 people were arrested in ferguson last night during demonstrations that were mainly peaceful. more now from cbs news' omar villafranca. reporter: members of the missouri national guard are starting to leave ferguson as things get back to normal. missouri state highway patrol captain ron johnson visited a makeshift community center and got a special gift from kids who have begun it play again. >> the kids that were there today gave me this sock puppet before i left. this is what defines a community. this is truly the community of ferguson. [ chanting ] >> reporter: the number of demonstrators continued to grow

even smaller after nightfall. but their message of justice for michael brown is still loud and clear. it's a message shared by michael brown, senior. >> my son had his hands up. that lets the world know that he has been taught to understand and do the proper thing instead of [ indiscernible ] police officer, who he supposed to trust. >> reporter: since demonstrations began august 9 authorities have arrested more than 200 people. many of them would like to see officer darren wilson prosecuted for shooting and killing the unarmed 18-year- old. on thursday, protestors in more than a dozen cities showed their anger in a day of rage. some of them at the white house. in clayton, missouri, others delivered petitions demanding the removal of robert mccullough the prosecutor overseeing the state's investigation because of his close ties to law enforcement. physical evidence including shell casings and clothing were flown to the fbi lab in quantico, virginia, thursday as part of the federal probe into

brown's death. omar villafranca, cbs news, ferguson, missouri. >> and about 100 people marched in san francisco yesterday evening to show what they call solidarity with the protestors back in ferguson, missouri. [ chanting ] >> the so-called day of rage protest caused traffic snags in several parts of the town but there are no reports of any major problems. the highly touted special turf is out at the 49ers' new santa clara stadium. kpix 5's betty yu explains why the grass has to be replaced. reporter: it's out with the new at levi's stadium and in with something that wasn't in the 49ers game plan. tonight, they are watering what's left of the playing field from end zone to end zone. >> we noticed that the players were playing a lot of sod was being kicked up by their feet. >> reporter: eric watched the team's open practice yesterday. >> i noticed a couple times myself when a receiver would

catch a ball, a big chunk of sod came up and stevie johnson fell near the end zone and was limping concerning the coaching staff. >> reporter: after that, coach jim harbaugh pulled the players from the field. chopper 5 showed workers on the ground this morning. back in april, the team said it chose the special strain of bermuda grass because it was drought-resistant and tough. it apparently didn't stick. >> there can be a situation where the turf doesn't adhere as well as possible. >> reporter: morgan hill sod grower aaron gill didn't work on levi's stadium but offers this explanation for the uneven turf. >> it might be a calendar issue, where play resumed a little bit too quick or it might be an issue where -- where the -- you know, the plant's just not taking on. >> reporter: the 9ers have apologized to fans who came out to watch the team play and insist the field will be ready for sunday's game against the san diego chargers. betty yu, kpix 5. >> the san francisco giants did something very unusual. they lost the same baseball

game twice. this was the scene tuesday at chicago's wrigley field when rain in the middle of the game caused a four-hour delay with the cubs leading. the field was unplayable due tow problems with the tarp. the game was called off and the cubs declared winners. but the giants appealed and baseball officials determine the game should be finished. well, the giants lost the game anyway. at the little league world series in pennsylvania the jackie robinson west team from chicago has advanced to the semi finals. the team beat philadelphia's tiny dragons last night. the chicago team will play las vegas mountain ridge in the u.s. title game tomorrow. 4:40. calling for cutbacks but not for everyone. one local mayoral candidate says some people will be excluded when it comes to cutting back on water use. >> and what's cool about your school? email your nominations here to coolschools@kpix.com. we may come and feature your school on the show. we'll be right back. suspected informants on august 4th, two unsuspecting men

accused of working for isra. developing news from gaza, hamas says it executed 11 suspected informants accused of working for israel. this is the third day of fighting since cease-fire talks collapsed this week. israel has carried out 20 air strikes today. it says it is targeting rocket launchers and weapons sites after two rockets were fired at israel. and the remains of 20 people killed when that malaysia passenger plane was shot down over ukraine arrived today in malaysia. the remains were flown on a charter malaysia airliner jet to kuala lumpur airport. 20 sets of remains were the first to arrive there. in all, there are 43 malaysians among the 298 people who died in the crash last month. the militants known as isis are giving president obama an ultimatum: stop the air strikes on iraq, or they will kill another american journalist. the man in the orange shirt here is believed to be steven sotloff kidnapped in syria a

year ago. we are learning isis demanded $132 million for journalist james foley before they beheaded him. it was a ransom the united states refused to pay. but as kpix 5's elizabeth cook shows us, the military did try to rescue him. reporter: the hostages including foley and three others were thought to be at this camp inside an oil refinery in northern syria, an area controlled by isis. two dozen special operations forces commandos dropped from blackhawk helicopters outfitted with stealth technology to avoid detection. with surveillance aircraft overhead, the team swooped in to search for the hostages. they encountered isis militants and engaged in a firefight. but the hostages were gone. several isis fighters were killed. one american commando was injured. the rest were blown to say. u.s. omissions admit the covert missing launched in july was

based on not great intelligence on the location of the hostages. the u.s. government had been tracking the american hostages for months. defense secretary chuck hagel said the mission was launched because the hostages' lives were thought to be in imminent danger. >> it's the responsibility of our government and our leaders to do all we can to take action when we believe there might be a good possibility, a good chance, uhm, to -- to make a rescue effort successful. >> reporter: elizabeth cook, kpix 5. >> hagel also warns in terms of terrorists, isis is beyond anything we've seen before. santa clara county supervisor dave cortes is calling for all county departments to cut water use by 25%. cortes, who is running for mayor of san jose, brought up his proposal yesterday. he said he knows there will be exceptions. there will be some areas where it's hard to achieve a 25% goal such as the emergency room at the hospital.

we'll take that into account. >> cortes said landscape watering should not be a priority during this time of drought. he wants the county to set an example for all residents. and another unfortunate victim of the drought is honey production. california is one of the country's largest suppliers of honey but without rain, there are fewer plants honeybees need and farmers are planting fewer crops where they can forage. all this on top of the worldwide shortage that has pushed honey prices to record highs. we need some rain, lawrence. we need the rain. unfortunately, we're still about 2 months away. hopefully we'll have el nino coming up. the weekend is coming up. patchy fog is long the coastline and inside the bay. otherwise, clear in the interior valleys. the fog is around early on today. may begin to reinforce itself a little throughout the day today. we have a weak low passing to the north. today very nice after patchy fog this morning mostly sunny

skies, just slightly cooler temperatures and then plenty of sun for the weekend. and those temperatures going to warm up a little bit, too. that low passing in the pacific northwest may be just enough to weaken this ridge to bring us some cooler temperatures and reinforce the fog along the coastline. so that may pile up as we head throughout the day. the good news is, the sea breeze bringing in nice fresh air around the bay area. the air quality is looking good everywhere you go. in the central valley 99 in fresno and hot. 89 in sacramento. 74 and beautiful in lake tahoe. and as you head around the bay you will see temperatures soaring in the 70s and 80s in the south bay. 60s along the coastline. lots of 80s inland by the afternoon. some 70s into the delta and as you make your way into the bay, 72 degrees in alameda, 68 in san francisco. next couple of days, we are going to see more sunshine, a little less fog and warmer temperatures too and next week, guess what, if you like the heat, maybe some mid-90s, liz, by the middle of the week. >> all right. a little heat wave. in the meantime, we have one more workday to go this

week. and mostly it's just your overnight roadwork especially at this time right before 5:00. they haven't cleared a lot of it including westbound 580, three right lanes blocked through livermore and pleasanton. it's still early, traffic is still light. so the drive time is unaffected. heads up, we're seeing some there. just about 10 minutes ago those lanes change trucks drove by. we saw some flashing lights. they are trying to get more southbound lanes open in the commute direction four southbound, two northbound and you can see everything looks okay this morning out at sausalito. so if you are traveling the nimitz, this is another area where we're seeing a lot of overnight roadwork near your downtown oakland exits. northbound and southbound. so that should be wrapping up here very shortly if it hasn't already in the clearing stages. that was scheduled to wrap up by 5:00 so closer to 66 high street, you can see everything moves okay near the oakland coliseum. so this is one accident we are watching. the eastbound lanes of 580 approaching canal boulevard. just a heads up. it looked like we were seeing more delays a little earlier maybe 10 minutes ago closer to

when the accident was reported. for a while the canal boulevard off-ramp was blocked and they were doing a lot of overnight roadwork like they have been for a while on the eastbound and westbound sides approaching the richmond/san rafael bridge. if you are heading westbound, this is what it looks like approaching the richmond/san rafael bridge toll plaza t obviously, looks great right now getting into marin county. sensors through the south bay, 280 still looks great, guadalupe parkway 101 no delay at all from morgan hill. heading across the bay bridge toll plaza looks great through the macarthur maze all the approaches still fine. lower deck also looks great if you are heading out to the east bay. and mass transit, no real issues to report so far. bart systemwide on time. and ace train number one looks good. remember kcbs, our radio partner, when you hit the roads at 106.9 fm or 740-am. that's your latest "kcbs traffic." back to you. >> all right. thank you, elizabeth. more americans are getting out of town over labor day weekend. aaa predicts nearly 35 million
